Add rice to a large bowl and swirl under cold running water and rinse 2 to 3 times to remove some of the starch. Add rice and water to a rice cooker (or a pot over low heat) and cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender (about 10 to 12 minutes on the stovetop).,______,SALMON SKINS: Rinse and thoroughly dry the salmon skins. Lay out on a parchment-lined sheet pan, sprinkle with a little salt, and broil on high for 4 to 7 minutes until crispy and golden. Cool completely on a wire rack and then cut into strips.,EEL SAUCE: In a small saucepan, combine tamari, brown sugar, and mirin. Heat over low until the sugar dissolves and the sauce reduces by half and is thickened.,ROLLS: Assemble the sushi. Lay down a piece of nori and spread on the rice in a thin layer. Lay some salmon skins, cucumber, avocado, and cress along one edge. Roll up tightly and then slice into bite-sized portions. Finish by drizzling the pieces with some eel sauce.

*Alternatively, you can make an inside-out roll by laying on the rice, sprinkling with some sesame seeds and then flipping it over onto a piece of clingfilm before adding the ingredients to the nori-side and rolling up.
